It is convenient to use as a reference when solving real UX problems. I would definitely recommend it as an introduction to UX, but also as a good reminder of best practices for more experienced designers.”- Anne-Marie Leger, Designer at ShopifySome more of the 101 UX Principles featured in this book:Work with user expectations not against themHow to build upon established metaphorsHow to arrange navigation elementsHow to introduce new ideas to your userMatching pagination and content structureWhen invention is not good for UXStriving for simplicityReducing user tasksWhat to make clickableMaking the most of fontsMaking your links look like linksPicking the right control for the jobData input and what users care aboutHow to handle destructive user actionsWhen color should not convey informationTappable areas and the size of fingersGetting payment details the right wayUse the standard e-commerce patternIf you really must use a flat designWhen to use progress bars or spinnersDropdowns the right and wrong wayHandling just-off-screen contentHow to do Hamburger menus rightWhen to hide Advanced SettingsGood UX for Notifications
